James Arryn Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Apparently with a quill and ink *joking*lol, but you get me, right? I mean...it's a big man. Alone, it's a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 lol, but you get me, right? I mean...it's a big man. Alone, it's a man.Do they mean a big man type of giant or the giants of this world? If it is the second, then I guess they draw a sasquatch-like creature because that is what their giants look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the head's supposed to be relatively smaller...but really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf26 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Who is being held captive at the Twins? I know the GreatJon is, but who else? I was just thinking about a helping of Weasel Soup for the Freys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the head's supposed to be relatively smaller...but really?Like in all the drawings of dinosaurs, just pencil in the outline of a man for size comparison. Easy.Seriously though, the banner as shown on the wiki uses a neat trick: Change the perspective so that you look at the figure from significantly below. So it's obviously much larger than you are (unless you're lying on the ground).Still, at the end of the day I guess you have to know / expect to see a giant, otherwise you might indeed end up seeing a lumberjack on their banners.

Apparently the Umber's giant is supposed to be wearing a 'skin', but in the drawing on the wiki they have interpreted that as some sort of belted jacket. And they have given him boots too, to make things worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nudu Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Why did Stannis ordered Maester Cressen to wear jester's helm. It is something even Robert would not do. He humaliated the man who raised him for nothing. He is not good with laughing, he has no grudge to the maester so why did he do that. It was one of the saddest moments i have ever read.

The Drunkard Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 He was to ensure Balon's good behavior for as long as Balon lived.So for probably another couple of decades? 0.0That's a bit harsh.Then again, it was Balon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tirade Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Can someone please explain how exactly Joffrey was poisoned?I know that a jewel in Sansa's hair piece contained the poison. I know the Queen of Thorns (QoT) took the poison off of Sansa under the guise of adjusting Sansa's hair at the sept. What I don't understand is how the poison got from the QoT into Joffrey's giant wine cup hours later at the feast. Especially since the giant wine cup was sitting next to Tyrion when the poison was delivered and nowhere close to the QoT. I also don't understand why they would waste time sewing the poison into Sansa's hair piece when the QoT could have just as easily hid the jewel on her clothes.What am I missing here?

DonalNoye Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 A lot of people think the Queen of Thorns passed the jewel along to her son, Garlan, who just so happened to be sitting next to Tyrion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose of the hairnet is to involve Sansa in the crime - probably as punishment since they couldn't get her married to Willas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FittleLinger Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I have difficulty remembering and I am maybe kind of mixing up AFFC and ADWD. What happened first (chapter-wise, not timeline-wise) - Sam finding out about the wildling baby swap at the Wall, or Tyrion finding out about the Aegon baby swap on the boat?

Pope Killdragon Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Why was the "Greatest Warrior Tournament" thread locked? Top12Gun did a nice job setting up the brackets etc. It didn't seem to be heading out of control either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
